I enjoy focusing on the deeper side of angling, such as the scenery/surroundings and the reminiscing of course...good to keep those memories alive. Just nice being next to the water for a few hours, that's what it's all about for me nowadays. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Thank you mate, appreciated as always. Yes that's right, as long as that bait is in the right place at the right time then there's a chance of a fish, regardless of what rod the rig is attached to.

I also love the sayings, its true about the mind being cloudy like the water. 👌

[@riversidewithme]

Absolutely! Fishing is a great drug, usually clears the mind a little.

[@mtadave6702]

@@riversidewithme best therapy out there. It was even on the news this morning about it helping mental health in people. And never a truer word was spoken. My whole life has been about fishing though, I would fish every day if I could afford the bait. I'm unemployed and can't go back to my old job, which does depress me a bit, but I can blank it out by going shore fishing. Blanking days are a normal days fishing, but when you get that good day of fishing, that's my reset, which makes the blank days so much easier.

[@leightongroves1509]

@riversidewithme Am a Newport man so lots of marks are very familiar to .e Gareth. And the way you reminisce about fishing with your dad is so close to home for me. Lost dad at 16 but always took Mam fishing. I'm 71 now but priceless memories..maybe one day I will meet u on your travels..Stay safe Gareth. Ttfn..

[@riversidewithme]

@williamcox355 Sorry to hear you lost your Dad at such a young age, that couldn't have been easy. Sounds like you have some great memories of when you took your Mam fishing, those memories will last forever, priceless as you say! No doubt you'll bump into one day, I'm usually down on the mud! 👍

I use to catch eels in the river taff in cardiff take them home dad would jelly them ,that was back in 1968 did not know there was to be a problem in the future ,the river was teeming with eels and billions of glass elvers that licensed netters would harvest on certain tides ,good old days with my dad fishing ,magic !!

[@riversidewithme]

Yes great days weren't they Mark, the Eels were extremely common. Even when I was a kid back in the 80's, you'd catch loads of them but sadly there are now in severe decline...greed and money are to blame as per usual, it's sad. Sounds like you had some great times with your Dad, those memories will last forever. Cheers as always 👍

[@robertboots281]

Only 5k but I bet all regular viewers, as always excellent informative video which has the usual personal touch. Great to see you promoting the local marks many would not think of fishing. Who needs to cast long as you regularly prove by catching fish. Nice one Gareth

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Robert, always appreciated. This particular mark is an old favourite of mine, I've been fishing it for over 35 years and I have some great memories, had some great fish too...it's just a nice place to be. I have fished all of the top marks in South Wales but nowadays I like going back to my roots and doing the things I love the most. Yes definitely, the fish are often right under your feet, especially when it comes to the muddy waters of Newport. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍

Well done Gareth, another great video to watch. I always find your videos relaxing and real, no bs and you don't try to portray any image of yourself that isn't exactly how you probably are, genuine. Hahaha, that cheapy old boat rod is certainly your lucky mascot, it's saved your bacon a few times 😂 Shame about the lost conger, it looked as though it was a decent fish, judging by the bend in the rod.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Steve, appreciated as always. That's it, I'm just myself when I film, that's how I always am. Yes the cheapy old boat rod is always there to save the day, I'd be lost without that now ha! The first Conger was a nice one, probably around 8 to 9lbs, I'll try and land him next time! A nice session though, couldn't grumble as it's such a stunning mark, one of my favourites.

[@noelevitt6961]

Another great video. 👍 I love watching you posts as it shows the true nature of fishing hours sometimes days without a bite and all of a sudden the fish come on the feed. I've travelled from the North of Ireland right down to the south cost normally about 6-7 hour drive only to blank for 3 straight days but kept at it and have had some of the best sessions I've ever had. Plus I like the fact that you don't see it as a job and more of a hobby it come across better your videos are more relaxed and more enjoyable to watch. I was considering starting up a channel myself but thought I'd rather just stick to enjoying my fishing relaxing enjoying the scenery and wildlife. Because that's why I started in the first place. So thank you for putting in the time to make these vids they give me something to watch when I don't have the time to get out myself.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Noel, nice to hear from you again. I try my best to show it as it is, so to speak, and hopefully it comes across ok. Yes I know you mean, it can be dead for days on end and then all of a sudden it can turn on, just like magic...I guess that's fishing ha! Indeed, I've accepted that this will never be my job, too much pressure involved, the KZbin algorithm is ruthless. If you're thinking of setting up a channel for a bit of fun, then of course crack on but yes, I think you have made the right decision by not doing it...it can take over your life and make you ill. Like I said, I'm much more relaxed about it now and I can enjoy my fishing a lot more. Hope all is good with you, cheers as always 👍👍

Iv just subed last night and already watch a load of your videos. We have similar years experience fishing, but I'm new to estuary fishing. I use to fish the rocky north Wales coast, as well as fishing being my career choice. Your videos are bang on point and I'm loving the local content your sharing. I'd almost lost hope until I seen your channel if I'm honest, so thank you for restoring that. I'm a cycling angler, and been told there's a lot a places we can't fish, do you need permission to get behind the station there?

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you mate, I appreciate it and I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the content, hopefully more to come with a bit of luck. I've not done much fishing around North Wales but I fancy some of those rocky marks up there, they always look appealing! No you don't need permission to fish behind the power station but it's not an easy mark to reach, it's a 25/30 minute walk (taking a bike may not be an option due to the terrain). If you ever want to fish it, drop me a message on here and I will give you detailed directions. Once you're there the fishing is nice and comfortable. If you take a look at the video before that you will see that I'm on the other side of the Usk mouth and that's much easier to get to. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Thanks again, you tell it how it is, perfectly 👌 ill be in touch.

[@riversidewithme]

Ah yes Monkey Island is a great spot. I've tried lure fishing on the tidal stretch of the Usk many times but never had any luck, I think it's because the water is too murky. In my opinion you're better off with bait, either ragworm or lugworm usually does the trick 👍👍

Another great video Gareth, ever considered leaving the beachcasters at home & just taking “ the creepy old boat rod “ 😂 Very much looking forward to the next episode.

[@grahamedwards2832]

Cheepy

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Graham, appreciated as always. Haha yes, I'll think just use the cheapy old boat rod from now on, pointless using the beachcasters. A lovely mark is this, one of my favourites! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

[@scottkenny7661]

Top video as ever mate, great session and a few fish is always a bonus. Wish this was your job mind 😂 love it when i get the notification you’ve uploaded. All the best Gareth, look forward to the next one 🎣🎣

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Scott, appreciated as always. Haha, I'm glad it's not my job...making KZbin videos is far too stressful, I think doing this as a job would finish me off 🤣. Nice little session, few fishys and the birds were on good form, they were good company. Cracking mark this, a special place. Hope all is good with you mate and I hope you have a nice weekend, tight lines 👍👍

Another cracking video Gareth. Always look forward to these fishing sessions. I've had a few fish this week, but like you sometimes it,s hard finding the time. Well look after yourself Gareth. All the best from South West Wales 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thanks mate, appreciated as always. Pleased to hear you've had a few fish this week, well done. Yes finding the time to go fishing is not an easy thing, can be frustrating. Such a nice feeling when you finally get to wet a line. Hope all is good with you, have a nice weekend 👍👍

[@richardjarvis4968]

Another brilliant video Gareth congratulations on your 5K well deserved👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Richard, I appreciate it. This was an enjoyable day out, I couldn't really complain. Hope all is well, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

[@geraintdavies4940]

Excellent video again fella beautiful bass nice to see the old green eel used to catch plenty keep up the good work

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Geraint, much appreciated. I enjoyed this one, it was a great day in fairness, just a nice place to be. Shame about the Green Eels isn't it, as you say, there used to be loads about. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍

[@on_the_mooch2708]

I hope some day I bump into you on St brides or goldcliff marks just to shake your hand. I lost my dad about 5 years ago too. He lives on through me carrying on what we did together and out fishing. They are always there with us Gareth. I know your pain, I feel it too. Try and remeber those good times together out fishing.

[@riversidewithme]

I'm sure you will bud, I can usually be found on a patch of mud somewhere or on the seawall! Ah yes, I bet you have some great memories of the times you spent with your Dad, memories which will last forever. Yes you're right, they are with us and hopefully we'll reunite some day. Cheers for watching, much appreciated 👍👍

[@MattThomas-g3g]

Always great And relaxing Don’t know what it is but your videos are relaxing Some are too hyper All the best Matt 👍

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Matt. Yes I always try my best to make a relaxing watch, not always easy but that's usually my priority and any fish that turn up are a bonus. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍

Thank you Nathan, appreciated as always mate. I love this mark, it's an old favourite of mine, lots of good memories and some nice fish over the years. I hope you've been managing to get out fishing. Cheers as always, take care 👍👍

I haven't been for a while mate due to work and the terrible weather.. i might go Tuesday I'll let you know if I went nice one Gareth mate

[@davidmorgan4055]

Hi Gareth nice to see you pal and great to see you catching, I remember fishing for eels early 80s on my local river in bridgend and catching plenty but now I'm lucky to see any at all

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you David, nice to hear from you again. Yes it was the same up this way back in the 80s, every river and brook was full of them but not anymore, it really is sad. I would like to think that one day they will make a comeback but I'm not sure if they will. Billions and billions of Elvers have been taken over the years, pure greed. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍

[@davidmorgan4055]

Yes mate been very much like you're self very busy with work and in the process of interviews etc. But I'm still awaiting for a session with you it will be nice to meet you and fish with you

[@robcollier6450]

Great video Gareth really enjoyed the relaxing way you present the video. Good result catching four and unfortunate to lose one. Great to see various species in our local area and hopefully a sign of things to come. All the best.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Rob. Lovely mark isn't it, something very mysterious about it. As you say, nice to see a variety of species, there does seem to be a few Bass around this year, long may it continue. Used to have some excellent Cod and Whiting fishing at this spot back in the day. Hope all is well, have a nice weekend 👍👍

[@pinnacleangling]

Well done Gareth, great session and well done on the 5k subs. always a pleasure watching your journey.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Matt, always appreciated. This is a nice mark, it fishes particularly well during the Autumn months. Nice place too, you rarely see anyone about and the surroundings are unique. Cheers as always, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

[@pinnacleangling]

@@riversidewithme I have 9 days off work. If the wind does off I'll be up there.

[@pinnacleangling]

Can I park close?

[@riversidewithme]

Unfortunately not, this mark requires a 25 minute walk. It's tricky to get to but once there the fishing is comfortable. So you park outside of the Wetlands Nature Reserve on the grass verge (right hand side of the road), walk into the Wetlands carpark (the exit) and follow the footpath immediately to your right and keep going until you come to the line of hedging/reeds that border the marshland (overlooking the sea) Find a gap (just to the right of the wooden telegraph pole that is on the marshland), walk down the bank and through the reeds out onto the marshland and keep going right and you will see the concrete area. It can be a little boggy and so wellies would be a good option. I wouldn't advise going there alone if your first time there, simply because of the tricky route. Also, I wouldn't fish it on spring tides either as the rip can be very strong, mid size tides are the ones. Enjoy your time off 👍

[@jeffcole5708]

Love your vids, makes me feel like I'm there. Deserve your subscribers, great locations, content and presentation, honestly done.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Jeff, your continued support is very much appreciated. This is a favourite mark of mine, the bird life is always on top form and a couple of fish usually turn up. Hope all is good with you, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

[@johnweekes8497]

Fantastic back from the holiday in North Devon and it was mackerel crazy I can watch on my telly but I won't be able to leave comments which I quite enjoy or press the like button

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you John. Glad to hear that you had a nice bit of Mackerel action in North Devon, good stuff. I usually go to South Devon and it's the same there, Mackerel everywhere, even as late as January. Cheers for watching, enjoy the weekend 👍👍

Ah yes, it's a great mark isn't it. As you say, some of the Congers that come off there are huge. Well done on the 25 pounder, that's a lump! 👍

[@gordoncarass2360]

Great session, great video Gareth. Look after that old boat rod it seems to be your ace in the hole.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Gordon, appreciated as always. Yes definitely, it's certainly becoming my lucky charm. It's actually battered and I could probably rebuild it in a few days but I don't want to curse it! Cheers for watching, take care 👍👍

Thank you Dylan, appreciated as always. This is a beautiful mark and you never quite know what's going to turn up, it's a mystery. A lovely part of the world too, amazing scenery and wildlife. I'm looking forward to watching your latest video this evening and I might even crack open a cheeky beer, it's been a long week ha! Hope all is well bud, tight lines 👍👍

[@j.g.routley2442]

First of all, massive congratulations on hitting 5k subs, great achievement buddy!! Another fine video Gareth, really good to see you back. Watching you catch that 'snotty', as we used to call them, brought back great memories of fishing the Rumney river, back in Cardiff where I was born....we'd go on a Sunday afternoon, tide allowing & as you said, 20 eels was normal & if you caught a flattie....you'd talk about it for a week!!!....HA!! Anyways mate, back to the livestock & training up this pup. All the best to you, look forward to your next vid....Jon.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Jon, appreciated as always. It was a nice day out in fairness, I couldn't really complain. Such a unique mark, something special about it. Ha yes, every brook and river was full of them back in the day, so sad that their numbers are in such decline, I'd love to see them bounce back. I bet you have some great memories of when you used to catch them on the Rhymney, good times. Good luck with training the new pup, I'm sure that will go well. Cheers as always, have a good weekend 👍👍

[@richardgould240]

Well done Gareth, I had two silver eels last week out in the solent and then a mate and myself had another two in Portsmouth harbour couldn’t believe it.

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Richard, much appreciated. Ah right, that's interesting, well done. When I was a kid we used to catch hundreds but numbers have rapidly declined. I hope they are able to make a comeback one day. Cheers for watching 👍👍

[@anguillaanguila7255]

well done on the vid and the eel conservation bit. keep going :)

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you mate, appreciated as always. I would love to see the Eels make a comeback one day, although I'm not sure if they can. Cheers for watching 👍👍

Got to say I absolutely love your videos thank you so much for your efforts. Just recently taken back up fishing and thoroughly enjoying it. Would love to see how you prepare your bait and attach to your hooks. Going to Rhossili next weekend to try my luck. Lucky to be living in mumbles so just 20 minutes. Thank you again. 😊

[@riversidewithme]

Thank you Michael, much appreciated, glad you're enjoying the videos. Good luck down at Rhossili next weekend, lovely part of the world, shame I live so far away. Cheers 👍

[@Taz6688]

I have said it before, this is not your average fishing video, it's almost on par with 'Passion for Angling' the fishing is as good as any UK fishing could be, pot luck on the day, never knowing what's coming, but the whole package, the scenery, wide shots, the quality, editing all make this an excellent viewing, something to look forward to in my view anyway. Thanks for sharing and tight lines.

[@riversidewithme]

Ah thank you mate, I appreciate that. I used to love 'Passion for Angling', it was a great Sunday evening watch, I still watch some of them today as you can't beat the old fishing programmes. My priority when filming is to make a relaxing watch, or try anyway, and any fish that turn up are a bonus. This was an enjoyable day out at one of my favourite marks, I couldn't grumble. Cheers for watching, have a good weekend 👍👍
